Lip.pack.net

Posted: July 30, 2013

Lip.pack.net is a website that offers personalized e-mail address services, but also is generally associated with pop-up advertisements and related in-browser attacks by PC threats like browser hijackers and adware. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers haven't found any evidence of blatantly disreputable business practices on the part of Lip.pack.net, and currently classify Lip.pack.net as a safe site. However, even PC threats that take over your browser to promote safe websites like Lip.pack.net should be removed as soon as is practical – since their mere presence constitutes a security hazard that may affect other aspects of your Web-browsing experience. Anti-malware tools are encouraged for removing Lip.pack.net hijacks and related adware, as always should be considered the default when dealing with unwanted software on your PC.

Why Your Browser's Lips Seem to Keep On Saying Lip.pack.net

Lip.pack.net is managed by a subsidiary branch of a larger company that specializes in online services such as domain name management, online billing software and mobile phone services. The Lip.pack.net wing of this company sells customized e-mail addresses and doesn't host any content that should be dangerous to your computer. SpywareRemove.com malware experts also have failed to uncover any direct relationship between Lip.pack.net and malicious online activities like phishing attacks or spam.

Ordinarily, all of these facts would indicate that Lip.pack.net is an irrelevance, at least as far as the malware industry is concerned. Regrettably, recent browser hijacks and related browser attacks have been found to promote Lip.pack.net, and while this doesn't necessarily indicate any wrongdoing on the part of Lip.pack.net's company, it does add another PC threat to the list for would-be Web surfers to evade.

Primary symptoms that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have firmly tied to Lip.pack.net malware attacks include the presence of arbitrary pop-ups, as well as system instability that often results in the crashing of your Web browser. If you see these pop-ups on sites that shouldn't be displaying them – or even without you navigating to another site at all – then you should consider your computer to be the latest victim of an attack by a hijacker or adware program. These attacks are not linked to any visible browser add-on at this time and may be byproducts of infections by more serious PC threats than a standard browser hijacker.

Packing Lip.pack.net Away Where It Belongs

Symptoms of browser problems related to Lip.pack.net, such as pop-ups, embedded links or homepage hijacks usually must be assumed to be the result of an infection by some form of threat – in most cases, a low-level PC threat like adware, but in some cases a high-level one, such as a rootkit or backdoor Trojan. While crossover between highly invasive types of malware and those that create obvious side effects like a Lip.pack.net pop-up is not necessarily common, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers must emphasize that it does occur commonly enough to warrant your consideration.

Accordingly, only appropriate anti-malware software should be relied on for removing Lip.pack.net hijacks and related PC threats from your computer in a timely fashion. Since Lip.pack.net-related attacks only have been confirmed recently, you also may want to make sure that your anti-malware products are operating from their most up-to-date threat databases. Anything less than that may allow malicious software to avoid being detected by an outdated scanner.
